Summary
My name is Meika Craig, I am 16 years old and go to Burnside high-school. I am an excellence merit student and I love to always push myself to succeed.
I do many extracurricular activities such as Netball, basketball and water polo. Last year, I played for the Senior Burnside A team and my year 10 A team and it taught me a lot about time management and learning to communicate efficiently with my coaches and team mates. Making sure I was always on time and and attending every training and game.
I am very hard working and like I said before, I always push myself to succeed and to make sure I'm productive and helpful in any environment.
When babysitting, I would always communicate well with the parents and make sure the kids were always happy and comfortable under my care.
In the hair salon I worked along side Christine as an assistant ,helping clean and tidy the salon, wash hair, restock products and make sure the clients felt comfortable, offering and making them food and drinks.
